Ari Jaaksi of Nokia Wants to Educate the Linux Community (Technocrat)

Bruce Perens discusses comments by Nokia's Ari Jaaksi on DRM and intellectual property rights issues under Linux. "The key is knowing how to draw bright lines between different parts of the system. That's a legal term, and in this case it means a line between the Free Software and the rest of the system, that is "bright" in that the two pieces are very well separated, and there is no dispute that one could be a derivative work of the other, or infringes on the other in any way. All of the Free Software goes on one side of that line, and all of the lock-down stuff on the other side."
